Don’t date a woman/man with kids
MARRIAGE rates are plummeting while divorce rates rise, and the single-parent family is now more prominent than the nuclear. This means that there are a whole lot of single women and men with kids in the dating pool, and inevitably they will start new relationships.
But what does the new mate do when the child is a colossal brat? Do you stick with the single parent, or run for the hills?
Tracey:
I hate rude children so the second I realise just what level of rudeness they are on, I would leave.
Donna:
It’s hard as a mother with kids, worse when the kids have issues that they are trying to deal with. I have kids but I didn’t start dating again until I felt that my kids could handle the idea of me having someone in my life that wasn’t their father.
Trevor:
A woman with rude children is the worst to date. I have no problem with dating a single mother but sometimes the children can be annoying.
Roger:
I was in a relationship with a lady who had a son. I swear that the little boy was sent on this Earth to test me. He would do things that he knew he wasn’t to do and all his mother would say was, “stop it”. One day I walked in and caught him cutting holes in my work ties so I showed his mother thinking she would have slapped him. All she said was, “that wasn’t a nice thing to do”. But I had noticed the ties before I saw that he was having a blast at cutting up my jackets. I got so angry that I slapped him. His mother got upset and told me I had no right to be hitting her son. She ended the relationship over it. At first I felt bad but then I remembered my clothes and just sent her a text saying that I wanted back the money spent on replacing the clothes her son had damaged.
Andre:
I think some parents need a reality check on their kids. They walk around thinking how sweet they are when they are not. I truly would prefer to date someone without kids.
